Practicing Tai Chi is about cultivating the ‘Constant’, not about cultivating ‘Change’; do you understand?
User asked: Teacher Kang always says that to practice Tai Chi you should read the *Tao Te Ching*, “The Tao that can be told is not the eternal Tao; name that can be named is not the eternal name.” What does this mean?
Teacher Kang: The key is this “” character!
You really understand the meaning of “” when these two sentences are together, you will at least understand conceptually what “” means! “” means, is not the “”! : is constant, unchanging ‘nature or concept’
Teacher Kang asked: Can you accurately describe the concept of ‘weather’?
User: I can only say ‘rain, clouds, sun, temperature’ etc.
Teacher Kang: If you let me describe today’s weather, you will be able to accurately say it, but tomorrow it won’t be the same. So can you say that tomorrow isn't ‘weather’?
We each day can be ‘weather’, each day’s weather can very clearly explain it, but if you don't specify which day, you can’t say ‘weather’ is what it is.
But any day can be ‘weather’, this ‘weather’ concept, can be attached to any day, but it's not specific to any day, and any day cannot escape the concept of ‘weather’!
This ‘weather’, is ‘’!
Each day’s weather changes, is constantly changing, but how it changes is still ‘weather’ is still ‘’
You must accurately and clearly describe things, will not be ‘’ things!
Therefore, Lao Tzu said: “” (if) can be told (clearly explained), is not “” (talking about ‘’ things)!
Therefore, practicing Tai Chi, don't look for what is ‘’, but constantly ponder these ‘changes’, you truly won’t find the way!
Things like '', '', '', '', '', '', '', '' are all different, they are all changing things, so what is Tai Chi’s ‘’?
Some netizens said ‘’ (center)
Some netizens said ‘’ (arrange)
Some netizens said ‘’ (really can’t say good)
Teacher Kang: Tai Chi teaches ‘’
Tai Chi’s ‘’, is ‘’ (Tai Chi force)
If you haven’t truly recognized that ‘force’, then you go around using it, isn't that a joke?When we practice Tai Chi, we are in the Tai Chi movement process ‘’ (seek the constant, understand the constant) The *Tao Te Ching* says: ‘!’
Not knowing the ‘’, even if you work hard, it’s still ‘’ (wrong action), it’s wasted effort, the result can only be ‘’ (bad)
Therefore, my students, if you don't recognize that ‘force’ before, I won’t let you do push hands, the further you move away from Tai Chi, the worse!
